Gibby Haynes respected what his dad said and did. If you can't even take the time to listen to your elders and your parents how will you know whom to respect?

I apologize that I did not know more about Cumol and his background. I was coming at my answer from my own experience: that stagnation about a decision is usually avoidance out of fear of success.

After reading his reply about his parents and how they reacted to his own decision about a college major, I feel chagrined. There is a heavy load here and it doesn't seem like I will be helpful.

You shouldn't apologize for an advice like that. I have a feeling that I need to respect what my parents have to say but still act in a way that I am not living the life that they wanted to live, but my own life.

Thank you for the advice :)
